Pretty sure we had it first, but who cares. If this gets on the 24/7s, it will be hilarious.

Now, one of Clinton's laws of politics is this. If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.

Oh snap. I hope this hits the mainstream. Bricks will be shat amongst most Clintonites.

Sorry subby, I dont read that at all.
Its not an unbiased fear if its real.
You arent really paranoid if they really are waiting to get you.
There REALLY ARE terrorists out there waiting for an opportunity...
Just waiting for us to slip up and elect someone who isnt paying attention or just isnt ready to handle those challenges.
Thats why we need someone with the experience to handle the job on day one.
Is Obama ready for these challenges? I dont think so.

Good thing we didn't stop going after them in one country to invade another, or something like that. I mean, a vote to send them that direction might show a serious inability to go after the terror threat seriously eh?

"Don't forget there have been a lot of charges and countercharges and ups and downs, but when you strip it all away, this election is a race between hope and fear, between the courage to change and the comfort of the status quo," he said during an appearance at the Scranton airport. "

So Obama has been plagiarizing Willy all this time. So when is he going to get his own stuff?

Don't bother, he doesnt even read these threads. He posts his cartoons and flamebait wall of text and waits half an hour, then posts another one. I'd say it was Afternoon_MightyDogLeather doing this stuff, but I havent seen any Cox&Forkum cartoons from this guy yet.

AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2008-02-29 08:17:41 PM  
Yep. I've lost a great deal of respect for Bill over the past few months and lose more each day. He is fear-mongering. He is doing exactly what he has chastised the Bush administration for doing over the past 7 years.

I don't know who is calling the shots for Obama, but the way he is playing the Clintons fills me with glee. He is beating them with their own playbook and they are resorting to the dirty tricks they fought against in the past.

And why in the world would anyone consider Hillary to be any more ready to deal with terrorism than Barack? BOTH of them would be an incredible upgrade from Bush, but at least Obama doesn't SEEM to be doing anything at all in order to gain power.

And of course, McCain is more of the same Bush crap but with 15 more years of brainfade under his belt.

 
child_god 2008-02-29 08:19:39 PM  
hillary4real:

Can I join in on the fun?

This is my take on terrorists: They don't like our foreign policies.

How about we actively engage the rest of the world instead of just assuming we are superior and dictating policy to them?

No? Ok then. Let's elect someone who cries because its SO HARD out there for a woman. I'm sure she will feel pleasant, fresh and ready to tackle the world when the pressure is coming on hard and fast.

fark it. I've started drinking... Miller Light even. The parties started in downtown Buckhead. I'm out. See you at Aiko's. If any farkers are there scream HILLARY4REAL at 10pm.

Check this out:
Reporter asks Clinton campaign "What foreign policy moment would you point to in Hillary's career where she's been tested by crisis?" (WARNING: Starts playing audio automatically, and for some reason it crashed firefox for me because I've got quicktime issues)

That awkward silence is awesome.

I think the U.S. Armed Forces and intelligence services are up to the challenge. The President sets the direction, but it's not like everyone involved in keeping America safe would stop doing their jobs if Obama were elected.

I guess they are running low on money, though.

If this Bill clip hits the cable channels before Tuesday, whatever hope Hillary might have had is going to be blown away.

h4r is not a Clinton plant. I suspect he's actually either a clever right-winger who found a great way to piss off a bunch of libs, or he's a closet Obama supporter who tries to make Hillary's supporters look bad.

He IS annoying, which is why TF's ignore list is so handy, but he doesn't actually believe the shiat he spouts. There are real Hillary supporters on here, and even they don't like him.

As someone who is pretty much wanting Obama in office, but will gladly take Hillary (and hell, McCain over Bush... heh), it still saddens me to see fantasies and simple bull like the linked article. If you have to string together that many quotes to make your point, you're stretching it into funny land.

I liked watching some of Michael Moore's stuff, but I realize the difference between it and reality. (There's some real stuff in there, but a lot of opinionated crap too)

Same thing here. This is pretty much bull, although it can be fun as long as no morons take it seriously. But they are. *sigh*

Obama is a complete fake. Bill Clinton is a terrible husband. And Hillary Clinton just does not know how to capture the voters' attention; she lost her charisma.

But why do I know this? Because Democrats are after Celebrisents, not Preisdents. If you know what conservatives talk about behind closed doors, it's not public speaking skills, good looks, charisma, speech writing, etc. It's policy.

/Marrying into a family of hardline Democrats. Hears it everyday.

Perhaps, but it's all bad policy.

This is a case where voting for zero is the better option when the other side keeps suggesting negative numbers.

Hillary Clinton IS a corporate plant.

She's taken more money from corporate lobbyists than even the Republicans. She's a corporate attorney FFS, sitting on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart Corporation.

I've been waiting for you for three days now, hillary4real. You're right. There are terrorists. They don't want your children to sleep. They're waiting to call you at 3:00 in the morning. Do Americans want a president who knows how to answer the phone? No, I don't think so. Americans want a president who knows how to do the right thing, and will stand by that decision in the future, not one who'll call up her buddies at Wal-Mart to see if the timing is right for another war.
